After almost 10 hours of James' waiting, the moon had risen overhead. He realised that there was hardly any light left except the light of the moon and the stars.
After coming down from the tree, he placed Clarent in his inventory and started running.
There were goblins around, of course, guarding in shifts, but those were the only ones, walking around with torches and just wandering around, I guess none of them thought that a human would attack such a tribe.
"Dark Step" James thought suddenly, he had activated his ability and was silently travelling at an increased speed.
Everything was speedy, thanks to both Selene's Boots and the ability from Nyx, but James knew that he wouldn't be able to stay inside the tribe for very long.
That's why he'd managed to get to the nearest well as fast as he could, pulling the poison packet out of his inventory and emptying the entire package into the well.
Now all he had to do was to manage to leave the tribe.
He quickly prepared to go back the way he had come when he realised that many goblins had gathered where he had come from.
He realised that there were big goblins among the goblins, just like Cave Trolls, and he could not understand what was going on. Someone must have realised that he had entered the tribe.
There was only one way for him to get out safely.
"Void Ring"
After activating the ability, he started running fast, he had only 10 seconds and there was a distance of 20 seconds between the forest he came from and the tribe.
He didn't know if he would be able to defeat all these goblins alone because even with a single glance, it was possible to see goblins of 20 and even 30 levels among them.
With each step, his heart rate increased exponentially, and even though it was incredibly annoying, there was no way he could stop his pounding heart.
He had already passed almost 100 goblins gathered in front of him and was close to the forest.
In just three seconds he had managed to enter the forest.
His body was sweating like crazy as if 10 High Chimera had chased him.
Still, he had achieved what he wanted to do, maybe this well would not be able to affect the whole tribe, but if the well systems were completely connected, the poison he poured would be able to destroy the whole tribe.
He just had to wait for a while, he didn't know how long, but he had to keep going until he saw the tribe panicking, no matter what, he would finish this floor as fast as he could because he wanted to see Ronald again.
He had some questions for him and he wanted to go somewhere where he could sleep soundly.
This was already giving him the necessary motivation, the sleep flowing from his eyes and filling his pupils with a sense of carnage.
James was not a good person, maybe not in the category of unbelievably bad, but he was not a good person, he was ready to do anything for his interests, literally everything.
It was a miracle he wasn't caught. If he had tripped or stumbled for a second, perhaps more than a hundred goblins would have chased him at full strength, and he couldn't help but feel relieved at how he had escaped.

It had been almost 3 days since James had emptied the poison, and as he had expected, the whole tribe was writhing in pain. The poison was much stronger than he had expected, for every hour or so news of one or two deaths came through the window.
It was obvious that every goblin was weak, James could even see their levels dropping as he watched the goblins, a very incredible thing in his eyes.
This seemed to tell him that he had to act, after all, his goal was to slaughter every single goblin in the tribe. That was what the mission was telling him.
After coming down from the branch he had been sleeping on for three days, James thought he could now enter the tribe normally and finish the job. With each step, he was met with another death, which seemed to tell him that every goblin had been poisoned.
James was lucky, the gacha had given him a great chance and now it would come in handy in cleaning the second floor of the tower.
The goblins suddenly panicked as they saw him approaching the tribe. There was no sign of the courage of the goblins who only three days ago had tried to hunt him out of the tribe at night.
James smiled when he realised this and then began to chase the goblins one by one as they fled into the tribe.
Of course, this was a chase for the goblins, James was walking in a relaxed manner and looking around.
He took Clarent out of his inventory and started to move forward, after only five minutes he stopped where he was and said "You are really intelligent creatures". It didn't take him long to realise he was surrounded.
"IT'S YOU! YOU POISONED OUR TRIBE!"
The look of anger and exhaustion on the goblins' faces was plain for all to see. James may have done a bad thing by poisoning them, but he had already become too full of himself to care.
James was surrounded by at least 200 goblins that could be counted by eye alone. The purple spots on each of them seemed to indicate that the plan had been a complete success, even the big goblins that had been waiting for him in front of the tribe the other day were incredibly weakened.
One of them had dropped to almost level 10.
"What the hell poison is this?" James suddenly thought, the last time he had seen that goblin it was almost level 50.
He had to reach floor 5 as soon as possible.
